Skill of Strength

Skill of Strength is a fantastic training facility. In a group setting you will get one on one training and guidance to meet your fitness goals. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, ensure safety first and help you reach your goals. The facility itself is beautiful, equipment in excellent condition. The use of heart rate monitors throughout the class are a unique tool to help measure your progress. Looking forward to many years here!

Great place to train, with great instructors. If you are looking for a place where the coaches pay attention to detail, come to SOS! You will not regreat it!

I’ve been a long-​time lifter/​exerciser (crap, over 20 years now — I’m so old) and every few years I change up how I do things. Used to be with my own reading and researching, but I’ve gotten to busy in my old age.
Of my preferred activities, I practice muay thai — a badass sport like kickboxing only badder — in Boston. There are a bunch of pro fighers at my gym and they all have been training at SOS as well. One of the instructors, who I trust beyond all others, mentioned that Mike Perry at SOS is really good and if I’m looking to re-​evaluate how I do things and re-​design my exercise regimen, he’s a great guy to go to.
So this review is based on the rave reviews from very trusted sources I know as well as spending more than an hour with Mike at the gym talking and getting evaluated.
I give him 5 stars because he’s great. Mike clearly is really knowledgeable about fitness/​exercise, and blew me away in our discussion. And it was clear he was only going into enough detail to help me understand and not blow my mind. And more than being really good, he was super nice and easy to talk to. Not a macho douche or anything. Really nice, helpful guy.
And the facility itself is really nice — sorta hard to find and not close for me, otherwise I’d definitely be going there regularly, but good. His gym has all the newest core/​strength stuff: kettelbells, bars, weights, no machines, no ellipticals, heavy ropes, giant tire, pull-​up bars, sled, etc.
And for my session with him and what I can tell of his other prices, I think definitely worth the cost.
If you’re interested in really getting fit and strong, particularly if you have goals and are an athlete — you can’t go wrong with SOS

I walked into Skill of Strength with a 10 year history of chronic lower back pain. After experiencing disappointing results from several chiropractors and traditional physical therapists, I decided to try something different. 1 hour at SOS and I was in less pain and had more mobility and flexibility than I can remember EVER having. Worth every penny, I’ve thrown so much time and money away in the past on treatments that did little to nothing to fix my back. Thanks so much, so great to have my life back!

I have done MANY gym and workout programs. I LOVE S.O.S. The trainers are just that — TRAINERS — not just staff who barely assist you! The trainers work with you as an individual to work around and prevent any injury. The workouts are varied and intense (but easily tweaked for any level). I have done both the personal training and the MOVE classes and have felt equally supported in both. The people at SOS are easy to «fit in» with as well. No ‘gym ego’ here!

I took my first kettlebell class from Amanda at SOS and I am hooked. The studio is BEAUTIFUL. I took a kettlebell workshop from Amanda, and you could tell she was very knowledgeable. She made sure everyone in the class were using proper form so as to not get injured. I had an amazing workout and am really excited to fit SOS into my normal workout schedule.

Can’t say enough good things about S.OS. Mike and Amanda have created an incredible space to workout in with the support of amazing trainers. i love the feeling i get when I walk into S.OS. Everyone is ready for a great workout each session. I also love flexible schedule for the group classes. It has been easier to plan my workouts for the week due to the many group classes offered by S.OS. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to feel inspired to become stronger and healthier!

I recently started at SOS after becoming bored with my workouts at Best Fitness. Mike & Amanda Perry and their crew are the best! They are all very knowledgeable about anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology. They work with each individual to make sure their workouts are tailored to suit their needs and abilities. I feel totally confident in referring my patients to them because I know they are not going to make them do something that could cause an injury (I am a chiropractor). Best of all, they are always having us do different things, so the workouts don’t get boring. I have been going for a few weeks now and I am already feeling so much stronger and more toned! So happy I found this gym!
